Of all of the top seeds advanced past the first two rounds, Wisconsin was the only No. 2 seed to be knocked off and Washington State was the lone No. 3 seed to bow out.

A year ago, No. 13 Bradley and No. 11 George Mason were Cinderella stories. This year the closest thing to someone wearing a glass slipper is No. 7 UNLV (the lowest seed still standing) and No. 4 Southern Illinois (only because they hail from a mid-major conference).

There have been two times in the last 12 years that four double-digit seeds were left standing after two rounds.
